A resveratrol flexible liposome and the preparation method thereof Technical Field s The present invention relates to the cosmetic field, especially to a resveratrol flexible liposome and the preparation method thereof. Background to Resveratrol with its chemical name being 3,4,5-trihydroxystilbence, mainly exists in plants such as grap, polygonum cuspidatum, peanut, clover, mulberry, gnetum montanum, maackia amurensis, etc. It is a non-flavonoid polyphenolic compound having stilbene structure and has two isomers, i.e., cis and trans isomers. In nature, it mainly exists as trans form. 15 It has been proved that the resveratrol has good anti-aging effect and is identified as one of the most effective anti-aging substance. The mechanism of action consists in its abilities to scavenge the free radical in vivo, activate the function factors in vivo, promote and keep the proper metabolism in vivo, as well as harmonize the internal and 20 external secretion. The free radical-scavenging effect of the resveratrol makes it become a good natural antioxidant and suitable to be used as anti-aging agent. In addition, the anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects of the resveratrol are highly suitable for treating and getting rid of skin acne and herpes etc. Additionally, the resveratrol also has the effects of keeping the skin moisture and protecting the skin 25 from ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, the resveratrol has a wide range of applications in the cosmetic field. However, the resveratrol is slightly soluble in water and has a poor biological compatibility, thus it is difficult to permeate the skin and is not suiable to make into hydrophilic cosmetics. In addition, the resveratrol is also extremely easy to photolysis. Therefore the above properties of the resveratrol limit its application in I 1111072-AU the cosmetic field. Based on long-term research, the inventor has found that it is possible to increase the skin penetration of the resveratrol thus to increase the skin absorption of resveratrol by making the resveratrol into flexible liposome. Meanwhile, making the resveratrol 5 into flexible liposome can also reduce the photolysis of the resveratrol and increase its stability.

The term "suitable organic solvent" used in the above preparation methods means any organic solvent capable of dissolving the mixture obtained in step (1).

Said "suitable organic solvent" is preferably one or more selected from the group consisting of dichloromethane, chloroform, diethyl ether and methanol. All the above mentioned methods for preparing the resveratrol flexible liposome 20 can further comprise the following steps: in preparation of the lipid solution in step (1), one or more lipid soluble components selected from the stabilizer, antioxidant and preservative are mixed with the resveratrol and phospholipid, or with the resveratrol, phospholipid and a lipid 25 soluble softener to obtain the lipid solution; and/or in preparation of the lipid hydrated suspension in step (2), one or more water soluble components selected from the stabilizer, antioxidant and preservative are added with the water or an aqueous solution comprising a water soluble softener to obtain the 6 1111072-AU lipid hydrated suspension.

The resveratrol flexible liposome of the present invention can be used as a part of 1 o a cosmetic formulation for the preparation of the cosmetic formulation in any suitable form such as emulsion, cream, oil, lotion, rod, gel and aerosol, and applied to the skin surface via a common method. In addition to the advantages of a conventional resveratrol liposome, the 15 resveratrol flexible liposome of the present invention is also highly flexible and has high penetrability, thus resulting in increased transdermal absorption of the active ingredient. It has been proved that the resveratrol flexible liposome of the present invention 20 has a greater deformability than a conventional resveratrol liposome by 5 orders of magnitude. For example, the resveratrol flexible liposome having a mean particle size of 500nm can pass through a pore having a size of 1/5 of the liposome, with the diameter of the liposome before and after the process almost remaining unchanged. Such property of the resveratrol flexible liposome is derived from the heterogeneity of 25 the lipid membrane. This is because the softener with surface active effect is present in the lipid membrane, and the softener aggregates easily at the high winding area. Therefore during the deformation process, the surface energy (elastic energy) required to be overcome is greatly reduced, which results in high deformability of the resveratrol flexible liposome. 7 1111072-AU Furthermore, the resveratrol flexible liposome of the present invention also has high hydrophilicity, which makes it possible to penetrate the skin along the hydration gradient. Since the resveratrol flexible liposome has high deformability, when 5 subjected to sufficiently high stress, it can freely pass through the pore passage several times smaller than itself, thereby resulting in high penetration. When the resveratrol flexible liposome suspension is applied to the skin surface, with the continuous evaporation of the solvent, the high hydrophilicity allows it to penetrate into the skin by means of the hydration gradient (the skin's own unique property) gradually increasing o from the surface of the skin to deep tissue. Its high deformability can ensure a successful penetration. However, the conventional resveratrol liposome still remains on the skin surface until dehydration and fusion due to lack of deformability. Brief Description of the Drawings 15 Fig. 1 shows curves of the accumulated amount of penetration per unit area, of the flexible liposome of the present invention and of the conventional liposome (X, n=6).

The result showed that the resveratrol is still quite stable after 24 hours under the condition of placing the sample in a water bath of 320C and protecting from light. The results are shown in table 1 (comparison of the peak area). 15 Table 1. The stability test of the resveratrol in the normal saline Time(h) 0 3 6 18 24 peak area 378.9 363.2 376.5 377.7 369.9 2.2 Accumulated amount of penetration 20 During the 24h of penetration, there was a significant difference between the accumulated amount of penetration of the resveratrol flexible liposome and of the conventional resveratrol liposome against the in vitro naked mouse skin.

Result s The in vitro transdermal test has shown that there was a significant difference between the accumulated amount of penetration of the resveratrol flexible liposome against the in vitro naked mouse skin and that of the conventional resveratrol liposome, and that the accumulated amount of penetration of the resveratrol flexible liposome against the in vitro naked mouse skin is greater than that of conventional resveratrol 10 liposome. H. Deformability test 1. Method The comparison between the resveratrol flexible liposome and the conventional 15 liposome in terms of their deformability to pass through the millipore filter with a pore diameter of 0.20pm were conducted under an external pressure of 0.2MPa. First, the rate (V water), at which the distilled water passes through the millipore filter with a pore diameter of 0.20gm, was measured, then the rates (Vransfersomes), at which the resveratrol flexible liposome and the conventional liposome pass through the millipore 20 filter with a pore diameter of 0.20pm were measured respectively. The relative 19 1111072-AU penetration rate was calculated by the following formula: P=Vtransfersomes/V water X 100 %. 2. Result 5 The resveratrol flexible liposome of the present invention has a p value of 88% while the conventional resveratrol liposome has a p value of 56%, under an external pressure of 0.2MIPa. 3. Conclution 10 This test has shown that the resveratrol flexible liposome of the present invention has a better deformability than the conventional resveratrol liposome. 20 1111072-AU
